When dealing with medication, a lot of times what the FAA is looking is side effects. We all know, of course, how important it is to "stay ahead of" our machines. That's not easy sometimes with a clear head. Some of these meds are aimed directly at the brain and are intended to slow or change the signals it gets. It's very hard to stay ahead of a machine at that point. Even though we might feel "fine."
The perfect solution? Meds with no side effects. But then they probably wouldn't work.

Always hard to asses ones own ability to 'stay ahead of the airplane' =
since we can so easily lie to ourselves. This is no doubt 'Flame Bait' =
but one way I check my mental and physical reaction time is to use an =
appropriate video game. My favorite is Gran Turismo 4. I give myself =
a pass if I can compete at the highest level in the game.
And if I could beat my grand kids at it, I'd probably be ready to take =
on Sean Tucker's job : )
BTW, Coffee has mental side effects. Should I ground myself every =
morning?

I have a feeling most active pilots would fare extremely poorly at this
test!

If I were to fly illegally, I guess the first thing I would do is pocket the insurance premiums.

One of the best things I've ever done for my health
is to stop drinking coffee. It was *really* hard,
since I love the stuff, but wow - what a difference.
Now I never have allergies or any kind of nasal or
sinus problems. I can still enjoy the smell, but
I don't drink it any longer. Yes, I'm tea sipper!

Coffee has many positive health effects, including antioxidants and
other heart-healthy substances. No bull; there have been at least a few
studies.
I became a real coffee drinker a couple years ago, and had sinus
problems before and after. No change.
Like anything, too much caffeine can be bad.

The cafine in tea is slow release -- so you do not get the harsh ups and
downs as you might with coffee. I too switched to tea and am not nearly
as gitttttttterrreeey
